Chapter 35 The Fire Festival (1)
Someone saw Mr. Bai leave from the Tong Hou Mansion, but he didn't know what they said or did.
Although Liang State was against his fate and secretly colluded with Qin Rong, not everyone knew about it, anyone who had taken that position in the court should basically be clear about it.
Now the children of Liang Kingdom are still allowed to jump around in the capital. In addition to being afraid of alerting the enemy, of course, there are also some old ministers of the Huairou faction to block them.
The Marquis of Tong was ordered by the eldest prince and said that he would go to Liang Kingdom to support him to fight against the Rong together, but everyone knew that both sides had to clean up.
But now even if you don’t know what Mr. Bai and Mr. Tong said, it’s just that Mr. Bai can enter the Tonghou’s mansion, and you can still stay in it for several hours. This is a political signal that kills people.
Someone who is interested reported this matter to the eldest prince in a vehement way, so the eldest prince was furious.
It is said that the eldest prince whipped dozens of eunuchs and palace maids that day.
This seemingly peaceful afternoon turned the storm in the capital.
The storm is surging...
When Xie Yu returned to the valley shed, Xu Xiaozhang was already awake.
The two still had a tacit understanding in their hearts, one did not ask or the other said.
Yan Xing and his group had already left. She asked the elders in the village to leave a message to Xie Yu, saying that they were eager to return home and could not repay their kindness. If there was something wrong in the future, they would go to Jin State to find her with the token. She could help her.
This is a fish-shaped jade, with a large round eye, and a small round hole in the mouth. There are no scale patterns. The dorsal fin is outlined with a yin line and then filled with a thin oblique line.
The ventral fin only has a contour. The tail is double fork-shaped, slightly outward, and the end is double-sided, sharp as a blade, holes at the mouth, and long tenons at the end, which looks like a carving knife.
Let’s not talk about the color, purity, and oil glutinousness of the jade itself, just talking about its engraving process...it’s not an exaggeration to be worth a thousand gold.
Xie Yu took the token from the hand of the elder in the village with a complicated expression and stuffed it into Xu Xiaozhang.
This crisis itself was resolved by Xu Xiaozhang, and it has nothing to do with him, Xie Yu. If you want to say that there is... it is nothing more than spending some effort to save Jin Gong, but a gentleman cherishes each other... Xie Yu, who is so loyal and righteous, cannot help but save him... It doesn't matter whether he repays his kindness or not.
What does it mean to say? It is called "drawing a sword to help when seeing injustice on the road... Besides, this is not "defense when seeing injustice on the road, this is the injustice on the face.
Xu Xiaozhang did not pretend to be distorted and directly stuffed the jade into his bag... After all, the heroes of the martial arts world need to have a meal, right?
Otherwise, where can the heroes earn fees after traveling for so long? They are all rewards given by the rescued ones.
The two of them packed their luggage and said goodbye to the villagers who had kept them for one night.
Since you have a powerful master like Xu Xiaozhang, it is inevitable to save Gongshu Mujiu.
So the goal of Xie Yu and his two men is the Qingtian den, the Great Yi Temple.
"What's your name?" Xie Yu rode the mule he bought in the village and walked in front of Xu Xiaozhang to lead the way. He was bored, so he asked casually. "It's impossible that I really call you Xu Xiaozhang, right?"
"..." Xu Xiaozhang was riding a mule behind and was speechless. "Call me whatever you want, call me, it's up to you."
After he threw the knife away, everyone he met did not regard him as Xu Xiaozhang. What could he do? He really wanted to ask.
What? A knife is more famous than a human? Is Xu Xiaozhang a knife or a human?
But he still didn't ask.
"How can I call you casually? The surname is given by my ancestors and cannot be changed easily. If I call you casually, wouldn't it be a violation of etiquette? It's not mercy to you?" Xie Yu frowned and refuted Xu Xiaozhang.
Xu Xiaozhang rolled his eyes. He never expected that this sour and corrupt scholar would be so difficult to deal with, and even casually violated his taboos.
"Okay, OK." Xu Xiaozhang didn't want to talk too much about this matter. "Just call me Lao Xu. Xu Xiaozhang and I are our family, and he is my cousin. I came to find him this time."
"Oh, so that's it." Xie Yu nodded. This is reasonable. The world of the world is dangerous. Walking in the world with his cousin's name can eliminate some dangers. But the trouble is that you may encounter Xu Xiaozhang's enemies.
"Do you want to imitate your cousin and make a name for yourself in the world?" Xie Yu asked again. As mentioned above, the world is dangerous. Although this person is still chivalrous and is not a vicious person, he even said that he is Xu Xiaozhang's cousin and has no basis. He needs to ask in detail.
"..." Xu Xiaozhang shook his head and said to Xie Yu. "I just promised to eliminate evil sir."
Xie Yu wanted to speak again, but Xu Xiaozhang clamped his legs and accelerated it to run side by side with Xie Yu.
Xu Xiaozhang couldn't stand Xie Yu asking questions any more. He reached out to interrupt the topic that Xie Yu wanted to continue.
"How long will it take to get to the place you mentioned?" Xu Xiaozhang asked Xie Yu. "It has been walking along this official road for a few hours. The sun is so big, it's really hot."
As he said that, Xu Xiaozhang looked up at the sun that was getting hotter and hotter in the sky.
"It's really a hell, the temperature is getting hotter day by day." Xu Xiaozhang scolded the Golden Crow Jun for being shameless.
The sun was dazzling, so Xu Xiaozhang could only use his hands to block part of the optical fiber, and then a little gap was made between his fingers.
Xie Yu also looked at the sun with his eyes.
If Xu Xiaozhang doesn't mention it, he doesn't feel anything yet.
The temperature is...it's really unusual.
But there is nothing we can do about that, right? It seems that this year is coming another desolate year.
"No hurry." Xie Yu withdrew his gaze and showed it to Xu Xiaozhang with an unknown artifact in his hand.
This is also a jade. The jade is dark green and has a trapezoidal shape, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, slightly thick at the middle, with the front side as the boundary, and symmetrical patterns on both sides are carved with animal face patterns, dragon patterns and human head patterns using double hooks.
The back has no traces. There are two pairs of perforated holes opposite to the top of the back. There are five pairs of perforated holes opposite to the lower end of the back. There are seven pairs of perforated holes opposite to the lower end of the back. All of them are side, anticline drills, which are used to connect other bead tubes and jade pendants in series.
The jade is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a symmetrical dragon pattern and a human head pattern. There are perforations on the top and bottom ends, which are side and anticline drills.
There are six perforations at the top of the jade plaque, six strings of red agate beads are connected on the top, nine perforations at the bottom, and nine strings of red agate beads, jade beads and material beads are hung on the bottom.
Before Xu Xiaozhang could ask, Xie Yu spoke.
"Follow this jade and we'll arrive."
Just as Xu Xiaozhang was about to say something, a slight light shone on the jade...
"This is even here." Xie Yu continued.
"Where?" Xu Xiaozhang looked around and found weeds and nothing was left.
The two of them had deviated from the official path without realizing it.
Xie Yu turned over and got off the mule, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and was wandering around like a headless fly in this desolate wilderness.
Xu Xiaozhang crossed his hands on his chest and waited for news from Xie Yu.
"I'm sorry, it seems to be a bit off." After a while, Xie Yu was sweating heavily, returned to his original place, and said to Xu Xiaozhang apologetically. "I used Qi power to mark there when I left."
"Can the other party clear your mark?" Xu Xiaozhang asked.
"Impossible." Xie Yu shook his head. "Not mentioning my Qi number itself, even if it is shown in this jade, we are not far from the target."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the jade was radiating.
Xie Yu was happy and didn't care about saying anything to Xu Xiaozhang, so he compared him with a gesture to let him follow him.
After a while, the two arrived at their destination.
Xu Xiaozhang looked at a big pit in front of him and was dumbfounded.
"This is the hole you mentioned that you were made out when you escaped?" Xu Xiaozhang asked, pointing to the hole with a diameter of twenty feet.
Xie Yu nodded.
"..." Xu Xiaozhang was silent for a while, and saw that Xie Yu had no intention of giving an explanation. "Not to mention how you made this hole, just talk about such an obvious hole... those thieves had already run away?"
Xie Yu nodded again and said, "Yes, since they dare to attack the princes and nobles, they should have been prepared for it. There must be more than one such stronghold. Since they failed to let me escape, they would not make another mistake and would inevitably be transferred."
"Then why did you still bring me here?" Xu Xiaozhang asked, as if he was dissatisfied with Xie Yu's stupid decision.
"Because the clue is here..." Xie Yu replied. "My Qi knows Gongshu Mujiu...that is, the breath of my friend...the day of Lu Ming Banquet..."
Before Xie Yu could finish speaking, Xu Xiaozhang frowned and pressed Xie Yu's shoulder, signaling him not to speak.
